As part of a coding jam, s0lly decided to build a version of Civilizationā¦a version based on the original 1991 video game, and which was made and runs inside a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
Hereās the game in action:
As you can see, itās really just approximating the very early days of Civilization, with a handful of early-game units and the ability to settle cities or explore a map covered in the fog of war. As such, itās missing essential Civ stuff like diplomacy and the ability to move through the ages.
But itās a spreadsheet, so whatever! If you want to download and try the game yourself, you can grab it here
